 MEMORY VERSE:      James 1:5-7
 
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
 
THOUGHT TO REMEMBER
 
If anyone of us lacks wisdom we should pray for it. God has promised to give wisdom to those who pray in faith for it.

Something to Think About
 
WITH THANKSGIVING        Her G. Loddigs
 
One God and Father of all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:6 (NRSV)
How dull life can become! All the little and big events can feel purposeless unless two ingredients are added: the wonder of creation and zest of thanksgiving. These two make all things warm and personal. Thanks involves wanting the giver as well as the gift. Anything we have becomes meaningless if no one else sees it.
 
Our relationship is dead if we do not thank the creator. If, to your request, you add thanksgiving, you are in a meaningful relationship to God through Christ. Christ makes thanks possible. The Bible says much about thanksgiving, but the greatest is found in Revelation 1:5b-6: “To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood…to him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen” (NRSV).
 
Gratitude is learned by example. The disciples heard Jesus give thanks many times. In the New Testament the word repent occurs only about 47 times, while just one form of the word for thanking is found at least four times as often. The word translated as “thanks” is the same word that is translated grace. How closely these two thoughts are interwoven in the Bible!

From the Pastor’s heart;
 
Don’t forget to use this time to reach out to others. Spend some time each day calling members on the telephone and offering to pray with them.
                                                                                                                                                      Pastor   Fullwood

Pastors Requests
Remember II Chronicles 7:14. “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.”
 
While we wait on God’s healing grace, let us fast and pray for His visitation. Pray for God to intervene and bring an end to this virus that we are facing. Pray for God to calm our spirits and help us to trust Him.
 
Pray for the lost to be saved. Pray for the unrighteous to turn to God. Pray for God to be glorified in the crisis we are going through. Pray in faith; pray with the confidence that God will hear and answer our prayers.
